About

7 tools created to meet a wide variety of users needs, from creating a simple crash map of crashes happening in any cities in California to looking at pedestrian or bicyclists crashes in the vicinity of California schools.

Data Sources & Updates

All 7 of these tools use the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System ( SWITRS) as the primary data source. For more information, please see our Help section.

The Safety Performance Measure Target Setting tool uses FARS and HPMS data while the SWITRS GIS Map and the Safety heatmap utilize Census data in order to provide additional context.
